Yeah, I thought it was worth an experiment to set up a patreon account just to see what all the fuss is about.

Looks like we may have found our second wind for the home stretch!!! So close to the end goal!!

I sent out an email to old donors

.

It looks like they are really coming through -- I think we are going to hit $10k by the end of the month!

By the way -- I attributed the very high number of donations in this last week to an email I sent out to all previous donors -- but I've since found out that Gizmo at techsupportalert also sent out an email about our fundraiser, which surely accounts for a major chunk of the donations that have come in over the last week (gizmo's techsupportalert readers are some of the most supportive people there are). So a big thanks goes to gizmo (ian) and everyone at techsupportalert.com for carrying us over the top.

Here is gizmo's wonderful post about our fundraiser:

It's the last day of the fundraiser!

All of your folks waiting until the last minute.. The time is now!

Quick question.. What if I can't donate until Wednesday (Social Security doesn't arrive until then and my current bank balance is $0.41)?

Donate on wednesday! We accept donations year round.

Having said that, because we will be doing something special with the fundraising money, send me a little reminder when you do donate and I'll make sure it gets added to the fundraising total.

Will do, and CONGRATULATIONS on the fundraiser success!
